Chainsaw Man: Barem is the best candidate for the Fakesaw Man
A convincing argument presented by @ChainsawZero, a user on X (formerly known as Twitter), suggests Barem, the hybrid devil with flamethrower abilities and a prominent figure in the Chainsaw Man church, as a potential contender for this mysterious figure. The core of this theory revolves around the unique ability bestowed by the Fire Devil – the power to shape-shift in accordance with one's innermost desires.
Barem's ties to the Fire Devil, forged through church contracts, open up fascinating avenues for exploration. The power to transform, driven by individual passions and cravings, serves as a crucial lead in the mission to expose the Fakesaw Man. The hypothesis gains further support from the uncanny resemblances between Barem's physique and behavior, and those attributed to the infamous Fakesaw Man.
Barem's involvement in the church's plan to use Chainsaw Man as a symbol of fear adds a layer of complexity to the theory. Chapter 146 reveals the church members' contracts with the Fire Devil, highlighting their dedication to shaping Denji into a formidable force capable of confronting the Death Devil. This revelation serves as a catalyst for examining Barem's potential dual role in the unfolding events.
Barem's unparalleled passion for Denji sets him apart from other hybrids. His intense devotion and almost obsessive connection to Chainsaw Man and Denji could have been exploited by Barem to become the Fakesaw Man through the fire devil contract. It has been shown that Barem can read Denji like an open book, deciphering his desires, mentality, and life completely.
Barem and the Fakesaw Man share numerous similarities, including the use of suspenders in Barem's outfit and the appearance of similar suspenders during the Fakesaw Man's presence in the Falling Devil arc.
Many fans may argue that the Fakesaw Man does not have a tie, while Barem clearly does. However, it should be noted that Barem has been shown to have a habit of tucking his tie into his pockets, which could explain the absence of the tie during the mysterious appearances of the Fakesaw Man.
The theory that Barem is already a hybrid and therefore cannot have a contract with the devil cannot be used to dismiss the theory, as the specific details of contracts have not been revealed.
Final Thoughts
The manga has reached a total of 151 chapters, and chapter 152 is set to be released on January 9, 2024. In addition, a movie adaptation of the Reze arc has been announced during the Jump Festa 2024 event.

The theory that Barem, the hybrid flamethrower devil, could be the Fakesaw Man is compelling and well-supported by evidence from the manga.

I appreciate the author's thorough analysis and attention to detail in presenting this theory. The comparison between Barem's physique and behavior to those of the Fakesaw Man is particularly convincing. Additionally, the exploration of Barem's unique ability to shape-shift in accordance with his innermost desires adds a fascinating layer to the mystery. Overall, this article has deepened my understanding of the Chainsaw Man universe and has me eagerly anticipating the upcoming chapters to uncover the truth behind the Fakesaw Man's identity.
